Selecting posts in Wordpress - wordpress

Question

I'm new to wordress and php.
I need to display all posts from june 2009 to june 2010.
How can I do that by creating a custom loop?

Answer 1

query_posts() just allow to show posts from a specific week or month. However, you can show posts between two dates, adding a few lines of code. You need to paste this code wherever in your theme you'd like to display.
<?php
function filter_where($where = '') {
$where .= " AND post_date >= '2009-06-01' AND post_date <= '2010-06-30'";
return $where;
}
add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where');
query_posts($query_string);
while (have_posts()) :
the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
?>

Answer 2

Using WP Query
Time Parameters
year (int) - 4 digit year (e.g. 2011).
monthnum (int) - Month number (from 1 to 12).
w (int) - Week of the year (from 0 to 53). Uses the MySQL WEEK command. The mode is dependent on the "start_of_week" option.
day (int) - Day of the month (from 1 to 31).
hour (int) - Hour (from 0 to 23).
minute (int) - Minute (from 0 to 60).
second (int) - Second (0 to 60).
m (int) - YearMonth (For e.g.: 201307).
Returns posts for just the current date:
$today = getdate();
$query = new WP_Query( 'year=' . $today["year"] . '&monthnum=' . $today["mon"] . '&day=' . $today["mday"] );
Returns posts for just the current week:
$week = date('W');
$year = date('Y');
$query = new WP_Query( 'year=' . $year . '&w=' . $week );
Return posts for March 1 to March 15, 2010:
// Create a new filtering function that will add our where clause to the query
function filter_where( $where = '' ) {
// posts for March 1 to March 15, 2010
$where .= " AND post_date >= '2010-03-01' AND post_date < '2010-03-16'";
return $where;
}
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );
$query = new WP_Query( $query_string );
remove_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );
Return posts 30 to 60 days old
// Create a new filtering function that will add our where clause to the query
function filter_where( $where = '' ) {
// posts 30 to 60 days old
$where .= " AND post_date >= '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-60 days')) . "'" . " AND post_date <= '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days')) . "'";
return $where;
}
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );
$query = new WP_Query( $query_string );
remove_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );
